Documentation: kunit: include example of a parameterized test
Commit fadb08e7c750 ("kunit: Support for Parameterized Testing") introduced support but lacks documentation for how to use it. This patch builds on commit 1f0e943df68a ("Documentation: kunit: provide guidance for testing many inputs") to show a minimal example of the new feature.
